Teaching Yourself Subjects?

Question

For teaching yourself a subject, do you think it's best to learn from a textbook and answers, on the internet, from watching tv, from reading other books, or from study guides?

Answer 1

Ask your teachers to recommend some textbooks to help you narrow your choices.  Then,go to the library and look around in the section of the subject you want to learn. You will have to get a few books. Start reading them and doing the exercises. As a reference, I recommend the Schaum's Outline series of books. They are inexpensive, have solutions and have different authors for different subjects.

Answer 3

All of the above!  As a middle school teacher, I have found that in order to get the students involved in the learning process, I must find and locate many different styles of providing the lesson.  I use the textbook, other resource books, internet (online quizzes with games, bells and whistles), documentary shows, study guides, and people who come with personal experiences.

Answer 4

combine those techniques and you will get a good result. it is called the ecclectic way of learning because information learned doesn't come only in a single medium.
